Sally has a private conversation with Macy. Although Macy expresses her reservations, Sally assures her that she is well aware of her husband's character flaws. She nevertheless asks Clarke to move back in with her. Brooke turns to Eric with a request to give Ridge his word that he will release her from marriage in two months. Meanwhile, Taylor flirts with Ridge at Pierre's restaurant. Blake watches in disgust and throws in several pills to control his temper. Ridge and Taylor decide to skip dessert and he leaves to get the car. But shortly thereafter, Ridge falls back into the restaurant, severely beaten and scattering blood.
